[jess]

what does house bashing mean???

 

[Specialist]

Hi Jess: Basically Domestic Electrical Work. Wiring / Re-wiring of Houses, Flats etc.

 

[Geordie Spark]

It means Domestic Work. i.e. rewiring houses - rather than shops, offices or factories etc. which would be Commercial / Industrial.

I've always taken "house-bashing" to refer to the domestic work necessary in addition to the doing the electrics...

Drilling holes, chasing walls, pulling floorboards and making good afterwards

You can't go to heavy on some of the new builds I have been to in my time. As an appi I have ended up with a pile of blocks a few time.
